    Not sure. I'll ask. I wouldn't downgrade 10% for a "movie icon" sitting in as PIC!

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    +1++++ You know the old adage about "ASSUMING"? "No action is action in itself". Don't be a victim of assuming that someone else will make what you feel is the "right" decision. Speak your mind in the context given. Make your comments on regulations.gov, communicate with legislators when given...

    Lol- "hmmm, wise 3D pilot you are" "I was reacting to "straight and level" transitioning to 3d" And for that your advice is spot on. I missed that in "Yoda's" post. Pilot figure- too cheap to spend $20 on pilots for 60" so Target had this and Vader for $5 each. Light and cheap!

    Absolutely! I just skipped to the Balsa since that's where Yoda was "at" from his comment. alawson999 is correct and my advice to anyone getting into the hobby is "Simulator, EPP, instructor/ simulator- practice,practice, practice, EPP, repeat til comfortable, then Balsa. It sounded like Yoda...

    Hey "Yoda" here's my "pilot"for the EF 60" Laser- it's you! Lol Cheers, welcome to the 3DRCF community. A member of our club has an Addiction X and likes it. It is very limited as far as growth.

    Welcome Bill. Enjoy the community. Thanks for all you do for RC. Not to put you on the spot but there is a thread for reaction to the FAA interpretation of the new model aircraft rule. Your insight may be helpful. Thanks.

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    These are all good thoughts and you all have the right to your opinions. As a reminder please post those comments at regulations.gov to give it a chance to be heard. There is a divide coming with the commercial technology blossoming for platforms capable of revenue generating tasks. However...

    Well done Swede. I'd much rather see the "vents" and the bitching directed away from our community and where it belongs- in offices in DC where it can reach "our" representatives. Thank you.

    Come to the Northeast aronph! We have clubs here loaded with "sound Nazis". Rather than dealing directly with sound complainers and working out issues we have some clubs willing to have members spend LOADs of money chasing ever changing restrictions with varying meters. It ridiculous.
